Criminal History Review and Badging for Affiliated Students at UMMC

At least 4 weeks before the start of affiliated student placements at the UMMC, the affiliated program coordinator and students should review the options below to determine how to proceed most efficiently. The affiliated program coordinator may choose to complete the process on the students' behalf or students may complete the process themselves.

For larger groups, affiliated program coordinators should account for additional processing time and make arrangements to pick up students' completed badges.

• Option 1: Student(s) Have Unexpired "Notarized Clearance Letters" Issued by a Mississippi Licensed Healthcare Entity – Utilize the Remote Badging Process. Once submitted and approved, the ID badge will be printed and available for pick up at the designated UMMC location.
• Option 2: Student(s) Need Fingerprinting by UMMC – Go to Schedule Fingerprinting at UMMC to schedule an appointment with the HR Service Center in Jackson, MS, or Grenada, MS. At this appointment, students will be photographed for the ID badge. The fee for this service is $50.
• Option 3: Remote Fingerprinting – When the student cannot complete the fingerprinting process at UMMC, the Remote Fingerprinting Process may be used at the discretion of the UMMC Affiliated Student Coordinator. After being fingerprinted remotely, the student should receive a clearance letter by email. The student may then proceed with the Remote Badging Process.
